Arrived in Railay Beach Jan. 2016 for a couple of days before heading to Suan Mohk for a ten day silent retreat. This is my 5th time here. I love everything about this place. It is a happening place with no cars or driving streets. The only way to get here is by long tail boat unless you are an absolutely great endurance swimmer. I stayed at Diamond Cave Resort which has had a lot of bad internet reviews. It is on East Railay. I personally have never had a problem any time I have stayed here but then I guess your opinion depends on what your expectations are. I took a trip into Ao Nang to look around. It has grown since I was last here.%
